Yes, we took a little vacation and went to Denver. Why Denver? Well, because silly. Flights to Denver just happened to be the cheapest we could find. So, Denver it was.
We had a great time. We didn't have ANYTHING planned. In fact, we just chillax'd most the time. It was so PERFECT.
We had dinner with a friend from high school. Nick Bishop and his wife, Christina. They are a very cute couple and it was great to see them. Nick is doing medical school and I know he will be a great doctor.
Besides dinner with our friends from long ago, we just did whatever we wanted. We saw three, yes, THREE movies. Here are my reviews, all for your reading pleasure:
Social Network - pretty good movie. I enjoyed it. But, I could have waited to see it when it was $1 at redbox. But, it was very interesting. The actor who played the main character did a phenomenal job. It was pretty good. I wouldn't say it's a must see.
The Town - Okay, this is rated R and it should be rated X. I would NOT recommend it. The F-bomb was said over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. Oh, and there were two very bad sex scenes and some full-on nudity. All of which, YES, I am against. We bought the tix because the guy working said, "Oh, no. There's nothing bad in that movie." Quite frankly, I'm ashamed we saw it. I would NEVER recommend it. EVER. Don't see it. I have decided that Hollywood and all the famous (okay, MOST of the famous there) are glorified prostitutes. Seriously. Excuse me while I have a very candid conversation with the computer... but, honestly. These movie stars will do whatever it takes to make big bucks. It makes me sick. And then, they have the nerve to turn around and mock those who are prostitutes or strippers for a career. I don't support either career choice, but honestly... they're all the same. Ug. It makes me sick. I don't get how they can have "marriages" when they are sleeping with the next big star... all for a million dollars (or more). (Gag). Hello STD's. It's no wonder their marriages last all of three years (if they're lucky).
RED - So, this movie was FABULOUS. I highly, highly recommend it. Warning: the F-bomb is said one time. That's an improvement compared to "The Town". RED was not only hilarious, but it was completely enjoyable. It's a movie you go to and just chill. No thinking. No scary stuff. Just, enjoyable. It was very similar to "Knight and Day"... the movie that recently came out with Tom Cruise and that one blond chick... what the trash is her name? OH! I just remembered... Cameron Diaz. I honestly forgot her name. I wasn't trying to be funny. Seriously. I would say, YES, go see RED.
Okay, now for some fun pix of our trip.
We toured the Coors Brewery because someone told us it was cool. Maybe it would have been cooler if we actually found pleasure in alcohol. Call us lame or boring, but we can have fun without that crap. All in all, the tour couldn't have been over soon enough. "But they give FREE SAMPLES!!!" To which we say, "Who the HECK cares? We like WATER. Oh, and our livers."
This was the FREAKY stairway that should have been in a horror movie. Thanks to my husband who lead us astray. We were all locked in here. I swear to you, I thought we were going to die.
We went to the Botanical Gardens. Wow, it was beautiful. Nic always makes fun of me because I tell him I would love to live in the day and age of Jane Austen. I would love to walk in my 50 acre garden and pick flowers all day. Mmmm, bliss. Nic thinks it would be absolutely boring. He mocks my idea of picking flowers all day. To which I promptly stick my tongue out at him. STINKY!
PS If you go to Denver on vacation, just go straight to Boulder. It was better than Denver. ...just sayin'...
